Episode 32 - IPMS SMW 2026 Telford Launch & Jon Bryon

The Return of Jon Bryon • Scale Model World 2026 Preview • IPMS (UK)

Hiya Benchmates...

Episode 32 has arrived, and we've got another packed show full of familiar faces, exciting announcements and more than a few surprises along the way.

Some of you may have just done a double take when you saw the above...

Yes, you read that correctly!

Jon is making his first appearance on Beyond The Box Art®.

Confused?

Don't worry—we explain everything during our conversation!

Join us as we catch up with one of the hobby's best-known writers, modellers and magazine editors for a wide-ranging discussion covering modelling, the hobby we all love and what he's been up to since we last spoke.

We're also delighted to welcome IPMS (UK) President Rich Middleton and Scale Model World Show Manager John Tapsell.

Together they reveal what's in store for this year's Scale Model World, discuss preparations for the UK's biggest scale modelling event, highlight what's new for 2026 and explain why this year's exhibition promises to be one of the best yet.

If you're planning to head to Telford this November, this is an interview you won't want to miss. https://ipmsuk.org/ipms-scale-modelworld/

The wallets are under attack once again...

Balders, Dan, Nevs and Shane return with another bumper round-up of the latest kit releases, aftermarket goodies, books and modelling temptations from every corner of the hobby.

Whether you build aircraft, armour, ships or science fiction, there's almost certainly something waiting to find its way onto your ever-growing stash.

You've been warned.

So put the kettle on, clear a space at the bench, and settle in for another packed edition of Beyond The Box Art®.
